I am pretty sure that this is a known bug that we fixed a few weeks ago. 
The fix is in the nightly builds but is too complex to go into a bugfix 
release so will have to wait for the next feature release.

The bug is most likely to surface when nodes in clustered rabbits with 
HA queues are shut down while they are dealing with a fair amount of 
traffic.
